[@RonFelsing]

Thanks for posting. You showed more than than the local TV stations.

[@VintageLPs]

Fabian, if you see little amounts of smoke coming from those ruins, stay away because that could be caused by lithium batteries from cordless tools. Those batteries burn longer and cause lethal fumes. Same with EV cars. Stay safe. You are helping to make an historical record of the devastation.

[@Dan-oj4iq]

Fabian: I hope you are allowed to continue covering national and local events such as this. Many times video and photo access to the aftermath of this type of trauma is denied or made difficult. to obtain for unjustified reasons. Thank you. P.S. You may even be shooting award winning footage here. Time will tell on that.

Why feel sorry for idiots that built a wooden structure in a fire zone!!!

[@VintageLPs]

@@michaelellringer5600These were mobile homes. See all the metal? By your way of thinking, no one in the western United States should build a home. Had the officials kept the reservoirs full, the firemen would have had water to fight the fires in this area. Also, public officials were responsible to keep the vegetation under control. Lastly, the extreme Santa Ana winds coupled with the lack of rain made for the perfect storm. No one deserves to lose a home and/or a business, not to mention a life. If nothing else, you should at least have compassion for all the domestic animals home alone who died and the wildlife.

fabian, thank you. these images are leaving a huge pit in my stomach, but I sincerely appreciate your efforts in documenting the devastation. 24:30 was my grandmother's home for 40+ years on kontiki way. my father and his siblings grew up there and in other parts of the palisades. personally, I have a lifetime of treasured memories visiting from the east coast and spending time with my grandmother in her paradise. I can't imagine what the new family living there now will have to endure with their young kids.

Thank you for sharing this. Prayers to all those who lost their trailer homes. It is so sad. Living near Paradise, we saw all the low income folks unable to rebuild their homes.

I lost my home to fire. In 1992. It was on the beach in Hawaii. Nothing can describe the feeling of having nothing left. Only the clothes on your back. No pictures. No memories. Just ash. I wasn’t allowed to rebuild because Hawaii stopped giving permits to beach front on north shore. My land was purchased by the state for pretty much low market value.

[@Tesserae]

Based on what I’ve read, that home was likely built after 2008 when the improved fire standards came into force. It most likely has roof vents that prevent flaming embers from entering the inside of the house and setting fire to things.

Thank You, Fabian for showing this area. I have been following closely on the Fox channel, and really like seeing it through your lens so much better, up close and like really being there. I would like to see as much as you fee like filming. News channels have all this political people talking and I would just like to see the actual areas affected. I don't know what to say other than this is so devastating and it seems to me that if they were better prepared as I would think they should have been with Firemen, and water; some of this could have been avoided. Happens every year. So sad. I hope the people find the strength to get through this. Thanks❤🙏❤

[@Raptorman0909]

The damage from the Palisades Fire alone probably starts about $5B but I'd bet it will end up over $10B. With the other fires CA could be looking at $20B to maybe $40B. Many of the homes in Pacific Palisades are $4M to start and go up from there. The mobile homes will be much less expensive, but nothing in CA is cheap particularly close to the ocean.

[@Phoenixeszzz]

All that money and they didn't think to chip in and clear that giant field of matches that they live next to. Unbelievable

[@Raptorman0909]

@@Phoenixeszzz And how would they clean the field of matches? Should they do a controlled burn? What happens when a controlled burn gets out of control? Who's to blame when a controlled burn sets off a wildfire? Here's the deal, these places have had fires going back long before humans ever lived in the area, but over the centuries more and more of the landscape has been carved up for housing developments and strip malls. In a way, it's like buying a house by an airport and then complaining about the noise. At some point the number of people living in an area is so high you can't simply tell them to leave because of the risks for wildfires. Same goes for people living in hurricane or tornado country. California combines terrain that tends to burn or shake (earthquake) or both. The people could move, but to where? Where is it safe from all natural disasters? The cost of living in CA is insanely high, but then the wage level is much higher as well.

[@Ed-sq7jm7]

Heard them say on FOX 11 57 billion estimate

[@Raptorman0909]

@@Ed-sq7jm7 Yep, heard that as well. This could wind up equaling the worst hurricanes for damage cost. Still, no where near Japan's cost from the tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011 -- if I remember correctly the cost was over $800B. And we have yet to get closure on how all these fires started, particularly since the later fires were upwind of the original Palisades Fire. If this was arson and at this point I think that's more likely than not, I do hope they catch the punks that started this, they have at least 5 lives on their hands and likely more when all is accounted for.
